Most of that is caused by over regulation and increased liability. A company would not last for very long if it mistreated it’s employees. The government/union adversity environment they created has taken the path to good relationships out for the most part. Lot’s of union guys view the employer as the adversary and the union as the real employer. Employers are frustrated by overbearing regulation, particularly where unions are involved and have to be very careful in their relations because of liability concerns. It is a bad situation for both employers and the rank and file union people. The people who benefit most from unions are the union bosses and the democrat party.
No. Most of that is caused by not giving a crap. Companies last plenty long treating employees badly. All you’ve got to do is look at the crap going on with the railroads. None of that is regulations or liability. It’s all the railroads being cheap and deciding they don’t care if they have high turnover.
